Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
After facing the heart-wrenching challenges of having two of my three children struggle with Substance Use Disorder, my world was further shaken when my son, Joel, lost his decades-long battle with the disease in 2017. In the wake of this profound loss, I was determined to better understand the family experience of addiction, and have since used this lived experience to support and guide others who are navigating the isolating and stigmatizing road of addiction and loss.
As a Compassionate Bereavement Care®️ Certified Provider and Kessler Certified Grief Educator, I work with individuals, families, and communities impacted by loss. I am a Peer Parent Coach with the Partnership to End Addiction, and co-facilitate their online grief support community, and is the host of Finding Hope After Loss, Grief Support groups for The Happier Life Project. As an advocate for recovery policies, I am a California State Organizer with the Recovery Advocacy Project, serve on the RCO/RCC Advisory Committee, and was named the 2022 Architect of Recovery by CCAPP (CA Consortium of Addiction Professionals.) My book, Secrets, Scars and Heart Shaped Jars, shares my family’s journey through addiction, loss and recovery.

My therapy practice is focused on YOU, first and foremost! I believe we are all unique and a culmination of our values, desires, experiences and our untapped potential.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
My approach to therapy is straightforward — understand what is getting in the way, figure out why, and build a clear path forward. I work with adults, couples, and high-achieving professionals who are ready to make real changes, not just talk about them.
I am Dr. Lyndsay Elliott, a licensed clinical psychologist with a PsyD and a postdoctoral fellowship from UCLA. For over 20 years I have provided evidence-based psychotherapy, psychological evaluations, consultations and expert witness testimony to clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic stress, relationship conflict, narcissistic abuse recovery, couples conflict, infertility, reproductive mental health, postpartum depression, family conflict, and major life transitions.
My style is warm and engaged, but also direct. Therapy should be useful — sessions that deliver genuine insight, practical tools, and honest feedback that actually moves the needle. I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused intervention, and trauma-informed care, tailoring every treatment plan to each client's specific goals and circumstances.
I am PSYPACT authorized, serving adults and couples via secure telehealth therapy across 40+ states — making expert psychological care accessible wherever you are.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship problems, or difficult life transitions begin affecting your emotional well-being and daily life. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to better understand yourself, heal from past experiences, reduce emotional distress, and create a more meaningful, balanced, and fulfilling life. Many people seek counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, overwhelming emotions, relationship or family issues, grief, burnout, low self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck and disconnected from themselves.
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling and EMDR therapy to help clients identify and resolve the deeper issues contributing to emotional pain, unhealthy patterns, and ongoing stress. Together, you will explore current struggles and past experiences to better understand what may be keeping you feeling overwhelmed, unhappy, or unable to move forward. The goal of therapy is not only symptom relief, but meaningful and lasting healing that helps you regain clarity, confidence, peace, and emotional balance.
Brad takes a holistic and personalized approach to therapy, recognizing that every person’s experiences, needs, and healing process are unique. His counseling style is warm, compassionate, interactive, and non-judgmental, helping clients feel genuinely supported, understood, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process.
Using EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, and holistic therapeutic approaches, Brad helps clients process unresolved trauma, strengthen emotional resilience, increase self-awareness, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating. Therapy focuses on helping clients break unhealthy patterns, reconnect with their inner strengths, and move beyond the pain of the past so they can live with greater purpose, freedom, and fulfillment.
Healing and positive change are possible. No issue is too small or too overwhelming to address in therapy. With the right support, you can reduce stress, restore hope, build resilience, and create the life and relationships you truly want.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing private and convenient access to professional trauma-focused therapy from the comfort of your home.
